University Snubs Transparency

A major state univeristy system has two arguments against complying with state transparency laws:

  • Our university is a lot more than just a budget. Your laws cannot pigeon hole us.
  • Our univerisity collects its revenue information in a different format, so we can’t really answer your questions accurately. So, we’ll just not comply.

The university’s positions sound like legalese. It’s also like when my dog eats the cat food, looks innocent like he has no idea what happened, while he has cat food crumbles stuck in his wrinkles.
